Narcissus Desk Lets Selfie-Lovers Stare at Their Reflections All Day Long

The problem with work is that it gets in the way of time you could spend taking selfies. Designer Sebastian Errazuriz has come up with a solution that lets you take care of business while being able to gaze at your own reflection. The Narcissus Desk is a piece of furniture with a mirror surface that means you never have to take a break from looking at your face.

The desk is created from a restored French desk from around 1880, in which Errazuriz cut a semi-circle so that the user can fit without any gap between themselves and their mirror image.

Chilean-born, New York-based artist and designer Sebastian Errazuriz is known for his ability to subvert everyday objects into social statements. He created Occupy Chairs in 2012 which can be used as both a protest sign and a comfortable seat, which his website states, “now ‘occupy’ the households of several prominent members of the 1%.”

The Narcissus Desk is a wry comment on the age of the selfie and perfectly captures the social phenomenon at its peak. Along with these examples, it shows that the days of selfies being limited to screens are long gone. Selfies no longer just involve recording images in digital media, we are finding new ways to preserve the moments that they capture in physical form.
